When I’ve been on the library floor, I’ve always been looking for quick and easy displays. Whether they were for tabletops, shelvetops, or an actual dedicated display area, pulling together themed pop up displays is one of my favourites. In honor of the Super Bowl this Sunday, I’ve put together a list of some of […]

Unnatural Souls Blog Tour
Today I’m excited to be part of the Unnatural Souls blog tour. Available on ebook through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other retailers, Unnatural Souls is a novella for the launch of Linda Foster’s upcoming series Realm of the Unclaimed, from Glass House Press. About Unclaimed Souls: It’s been almost a year since the night of the accident that should […]
Political Thriller Booklist
With the dubious announcement of a YA version of The Da Vinci Code yesterday along with all the political coverage going on within an election year, what better time is there to create a political thriller booklist of actual teen and ya books? The best thing is that political thriller books don’t have to stay in […]

What I’m Reading
I moved from the DFW Metroplex to Orange County, Florida last December, and one of the first things I did was get a library card. I cannot live without having a library and it makes me feel settled. Little did I know that the OCLS will deliver to your home your requests. This is something […]
Opinion: Greeks versus Angels
I admit, I’m behind on news this week- That Guy is in DFW for work while I’m at home in Florida with Willow the Wonder Horker who is not taking his absence well. She’s either barking at the upstairs neighbors or something outside, defending me to the outside world, or, well, let’s say pining for […]

Book Review: Placebo Junkies
One of the most unreliable narrators I’ve read in quite a while, we’re introduced to Audie and her world in Placebo Junkies, where everyone is testing something and nothing is ever what it seems to be. Interspersed with Audie’s blog entries and lost between what is real and what is not, Audie’s narrative pulls readers in […]
Book Review: Code of Honor
There is a lot to tackle in Code of Honor– racism, profiling, and domestic terrorism- with twists and turns at every angle. The action will keep readers tearing through the pages and deep into the throes of disbelief, and long after Code of Honor is finished, they will be talking about the real concepts behind the overarching themes. Kamran […]
Mini Book Review: Fairest
Most of the time, I am not a fan of one of the newer trends in YA literature, the “bridge” novellas. To me, they’re called called short stories and should be put into a collection and published together, like Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass. My teens clamor for them because they want everything in a series, […]
